A very vague law has been discovered.
which is, in effect, that it is unlawful in
this State for any who Sc. farm and gar
den products to allow the basket or pack,
age to go out of their possession without
first demanding and receiving a sum OF
money equal to it's fall value, the money
to be refunded upon the return of the
basket or package, provided, however, the
owners name is displayed on them. The
penalty is $50 and costs, to be sued for by
any person. This is what the wise men a
Trenton laid down as the law last winter.
They probably meant that grocers, etc.
should nos dispose of their customers
baskets without first obtaining full value
therefore; but the law is drawn In such a
way that no one can loan even his own
baskets.-Eliza6eM Journal.

Impure Drugs in New Jersey.

Under the provisions of an act common
ly known as the 'Food and Drug act, "
which was passed by the last Legislature,
the Dairy Commissioner is empowered to
examine every food and medical product
offered for sale in this State, for the
purpose of testing their purity. For the
last month Assistant Dairy COMMISSIONS
Mcclure has been visiting drugstores in
the different parts of the State, and has
found that with drugs such as laudanum,
spirits of nitre, and purgatives in common
use the authorizations had made them
below the United States pharmac9pia
standard, or the official standard for medi-
cines in this country. At Newton Mr..
Mcclure collected twelve samples ofdiifer-
ent drugs from the drugstores and found
one half far below the standard. In
Newark he was surprised to find that
nearly all of the sedlitz powders exposed
for sale were only about half weight.

The telegraph poles on the West Jersey
Railroad are being replaced by new and
larger ones capable of carrying more lines.
The number of wires increase yearly.
The Directors ofthe Swedesboro Railroad
Company held a meeting last Saturday TO
transact some matters preliminary to the
formal submission of the proposition to
merge their railroad with the West Jersey
in accordance with the plan that includes
all the leased lines in South Jersey.
There has beer some delay in the pro-
posed merger of lateral lines of the West
Jersey Railroad with the main stem be-
cause the Trustees of estates holding the
securities of the Swedesboro and Salem
Railroads have refused to surrender the Sc
curities unless for a guarantee of 6 per
cent. equally as good as that now held by
them. The West Jersey Railroad Com
pany therefore proposes to issue a preferred
stock guaranteed at G per cent. to those
stockholders who have refused to enter the
new plan of merger.

While the teams were at work on Bowen
street yesterday afternoon one of the boys
driving a cart went too near the edge of
the small bridge, in the rear of the Register
office, with a loaded cart, the wheel went
over and cart, horse and load were turned
upside down in the bed of the run. While
the men were at work to release the horse
his struggles threw Jos. S. Broadway into
the ditch, giving him some severe bruises.
The horse, which belonged to w. W. Fox,
did not seem to be the worse for his fall.

The manure cars standing at the rail-
road station, containing the concentrated
essence of city filth, passing under the
name of stable manure, is about as big a
nuisance as this borough has had for one
while. The slaughter-houses and phos-
phate storehouses have been removed from
the town and in their places comes this
abominable stencil, which is enough to
strangle a skunk, floating on the easterly
wind to the very centre of the town. IF it
lasts much longer there will be a kick.

FEBRUARY 70, IS
INDUSTRIAL MUSEUMS.

As corollary Of the practical inter
est taken abroad in technical education,
an exchange mentions the establish
ment in a constantly increasing number
Of European countries of industrial
museums. In these institutions are
displayed the industrial products Of the
countries, both agricultural and me-
chanical. 1t is easy to imagine how
such museums might be Of great and
manifold benefit to the countries hav-
ing them. There can be no doubt
that such an institution would be a
great advantage in Hawaii. A large
proportion Of the visitors constantly
coming and going here must carry
away with them only hazy ideas Of the
productions of Hawaiian soil and
climate, or the capacity and efficiency
Of the factories hourishing in this
Kingdom. Many a capitalist may
now tary among US brief season and
depart with no thought that there are
old industries existent or new ones
practicable, affording promise Of good
returns from investment therein. With
a museum containing every conceivable
production Of domestic industry estab-
lished in Honolulu the attention of all
wayfarers might be effectually drawn to
the resourcesofthe country, which would
surely inure to national advantage, both
in the attracting Of capital and in the
securing Of foreign markets that would
otherwise never be discovered TO our
people. Such an institution could
even be utilized in the promotion OF
the present national policy of educat-
ing the ignorant Polynesians Of other
groups, in a much better manner than
can be effected by any Of the mean:
being employed for that purpose. Fol
instance, if instead of sending super
numerary politicians and superauous
adventures to Samoa, to win the hear
of its monarch by honeyed fraterna
greetings and decorations from ou
King, with lots Of wine to wash then
down; how much more useful servic,
could be rendered the Samoans b,
bringing them here in gunboat loads t.
show them collections of the results o
industry and enterprise in a museum
such as that advocated.

Concerning Grapes.

"From whence do all the grapes
come, and whittier do they go7" was
asked Mr.. Palmer, a wholesale New
York fruit dealer, as he stood in the
midst of crates giving orders for the
distribution Of his wares The answer
of Mr.. Palmer will be instructive to
many of our readers. Said he:
They come from the Mediterranean,
from California, from Central New
York, and elsewhere; and New York is
the great distributing center for not
only the Eastern States, butalso all the
leading cities in the South. The
market would seem to be glutted, but
this is not so, and choice stock is NOV
ingfreely and at remunerative prices.
The purple Torkay from sunny Cali
fornia has the preference and sell for
10 to IL cents pound; the delicate
Muscatel ranges from $3.5o to So. so a
case, and black Ferrara about the same.
The staple A,merla from the Mediter-
ranean is plenty, and sells for about s
cents pound. White Niagafas being
about 10 cents, Delaware 7 cents, and
Concords from 3 to 4 cents.
After the impairment Of this informa-
ton Mr.. Palmer added:
The completion in express rates and
rapid steam transportation, both by
land and water, afford facilities for
landing grapes at the doors OF
all the principal markets Of the
South. The cheap express rates have
also given advantages to the Western
New York growers, who can now place
their fruit in our market at low rates.
The shipping season is prolonged now
adaYs by the custom Of placing in cold
storage the largest share of the crops Of
some of the heaviest growers on the
Hudson River, some Of them having q
capacity for holding 100 tons. The
product of a good vineyard, whicf
averages from two and half TO foul
tons to the acre, according to the vari
ETY., pays the farmer, even at fail
price, better than anything he can pro
duce in the way of general crop.
